Donald (Bud) Davis

Donald (Bud) Davis, 83, passed away Wednesday, May 22, 2013 at Serenity Hospice & Home.
Bud was born Nov. 18, 1929, the son of John and Mildred (O’Kane) Davis.

He attended Polo schools, graduating with the class of 1947.

He married Phyllis Weigle in 1949.

Through the late 1960s he farmed and worked for Armour & Company as a hog buyer.

After moving off the family farms, he was elected as Polo City Clerk.

After his term he continued working in all city departments.

He then worked for the Polo School District until retirement.

During most of his working years Bud was also a school bus driver, and was proud of the fact he was nearing the third generation of families when he retired.
He was a past member of the Polo Lions Club and a current member of Elkhorn United Methodist Church.

Bud loved to hunt and fish during his early years and later found plenty of time to spend at Edgewood Golf Club with the “old guys” playing golf during the spring and summer and cards in the winter.

He and Phyllis greatly enjoyed camping.

The greatest memory of Bud will be his love and devotion toward children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

None of his pastimes or personal enjoyments would ever stand in the way of helping his family in any way he could.

Aside from his family and various employments, some of his most loved and enjoyable memories were the eight years he served the City of Polo as mayor and the friendships he made.
